My husband thinks you all will be interested to hear that I rode with Natascha Badmann and her coach Toni Hasler this morning. It was pretty cool riding between two Cheetahs (they both ride one-I think she has 5 or 6) They’ve been here in Clermont 2 weeks and have been trying to get my husband out on rides. But since KJGROG raced this AM he wanted me to go with them. Of course he wanted me to interview them on the ride, but I found out before we left it was pretty businesslike. I was telling them about the route I thought we could go on, and Toni says “okay, but I am in front for de eezy two hourz, then Natascha lead for de last 40 minoots, a little harder” So that’s the way the ride went. It was really cool getting to ride with them-and hanging on when NB got in the front, but I found out she drinks Gatorade like the rest of us, from convenience store coolers, doesn’t use a heart rate monitor, ever, and loves what she does.
They are heading up to Baltimore Tuesday for Blackwater Eagleman 1/2, so you all up there go meet them-they are super nice, down to earth people
oh yeah, and I know she eats really healthy (she suggested I use fructose in my banana choco chip muffins to make them healthier) so I really wanted to come home and have a nice antioxidant smoothie and natural PB&J, but my hubby was grilling some hotdogs, and I guess I will have to save trying to act like a champ for another day-the hot dogs won.
Hey, if I recall, you are a fairly new momma…mommas gotta have hot dogs every once in a while…now KJ, on the other hand…he needs to pony up to the Badman bar…
Yea I love my boars head hot dogs. When tri pro Rebecca Wassner use to live with Kimberly and I she couldn’t believe how many I could put away after morning swim practice before 10 am.
What a great experience though for Kimberly riding with Natascha… In what other sport could you train with a World Champion. I mean…if I loved golf like I love triathlon…how hard would it be to get a round with Tiger and how much would that one cost? Pretty cool I think.
New Momma Kimberly is truly amazing. 3 months out from pregnancy…two 1/2 Ironmans and 2 sprint tris…and she puts up with my escapades!
